redarc brings the joy of australian-style off-roading to the medium sized toyota. the vessel consists of a custom aluminum flatbed tray canopy that includes redarc’s electrical system, providing the camper plenty of battery power for off-grid experience. the system centers around dual 120-ah batteries, which are maintained through redarc redvision color displays on both canopy sides. the display gives useful data about the system — such as temperature and water levels — accessory control, and power consumption monitoring. meanwhile, under the truck features a 1.5-inch lift kit with rear airbags, and the TRD off-road wheels are installed with falken wildpeak.

the alloy canopy houses dual additional 120ah lithium batteries controlled by a redarc manager30 system. the device enables the batteries to be charged by a rooftop solar panel or shore/ac power. the stored electricity functions to power an air compressor, a roll-out fridge, and a sine wave inverter that transforms it to 110-volt ac suitable for laptops, coffee machines or any other household devices.
